Sounds like the Mediterranean Sea is a Hamas sympathizer, US is going to launch an anti-sea operation in the near future.
it is another stark reminder that the brave men and women who defend our great nation put their lives on the line each and every day to keep our country safe.
What, praytell, were they doing in the Mediterranean that had anything to do with keeping the US safe? I am going to go out on a limb and guess absolutely fuckall given that it is a minimum of 6,000 km from the US.
Dude the US military wrecks so many fucking helicopters. It's wild.
They actually dropped the window of one on a school here while they were flying overhead once. A kid was injured (thankfully only injured).
I have no idea what in the world you are doing to just pop out a window during flight.
100% without a doubt the actual reason is two dumbasses "horsing around" and their NCO, or whoever, wrote it up as a faulty part or something.
I can easily see two early 20 somethings fighting over a can of Skoal with only one dip left in it and one finally gets the can and the other guy shoves him and he hits a window which pops out. The pilot is probably screaming "what the fuck?!" at them because he thinks he's gonna lose his ability to fly. And their NCO calls them both dipshits and tells them they'll be on extra duty cleaning floors for a week but he'll take care of the BS on the backend with a report.
Their commander sees the report, leans back in his chair and taps the paper like "ahh! I remember those days!"
The DoD pays out some compensation and everyone moves on.

Because we are such nice obedient dogs to the US, we didn't even get that much. Just a "sincere apology" for dropping helicopter parts on elementary school students.
When a marine murdered a local, all that happened was a temporary ban on occupying military being allowed to drink alcohol. Which didn't work anyway.
Damn. If you're unlucky enough to have some crazy shit like that happen where clearly the military is at fault I feel like you gotta at least get some sort of small settlement. Like a "we'll pay for the medical bills related to injuries for life and here's $100K to say sorry and also to not talk about this in the media" or something. I actually don't know how common payouts from the DoD to completely unrelated bystander citizens is. I have to imagine they make payments somewhat frequently though just because the DoD budget is an infinite pit and it's easy to pay people and they won't talk shit.

This is so real man.
I mean helicopters crash a lot, and the military has a shit ton of helicopters
I suppose.
Although I choose to believe they're treating helicopters like single use hovercrafts. They fly over a destination and everyone parachutes out letting the helicopter crash. Much more entertaining in my mind.
Based Mediterranean Sea.
I find it so easy not to ever get in a helicopter
Critical support for Comrade Copter.
Idk, my thoughts on coptors will never recover after what Pinochet did
That copter was just following orders!
Rest in piss, nazi cracker fucks.
We are going to see another 'Gulf of Tonkin" incident, are we?
Not out of the realm of possibility that's for sure.
So this is why I can't go to the hospital after a concussion without getting a horrific bill.
Not my problem.
At least 2500 deaths in the mediterranean this year. Why 5 more deserves a post in [email protected] ? /Rethoric question
The whole world should be celebrating more dead Axis footsoldiers
I know you're being rhetorical, but to answer anyways for others who don't get it: OP didn't post to that nonexistent community
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
on the one hand I'm aware that the people on that chopper were likely exploited working class and victims of the US's maliciously inadequate and propagandized education system...but on the other hand I still feel joy from this news.
they were special ops on the fucking mediterranean. Could have quitted
Yea no solidarity for class traitors.
